IWXwx Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Made it to 57° today. Filtered sun was the rule until mid afternoon before the rain moved in. Rain has stayed pretty light. Green up still ongoing in this local forest. Interesting clouds right before the rain started. Big difference in the vegetation as compared to here. Leaves are all out and the woods floor growth is so thick that I'm done hunting morels. The cloud formation almost looks like undulatus asperatus, except they're pretty high based, at least from looking at them in a picture. A nice, soaking rain shower here this morning, which will put my mower into overtime. Could see an isolated strong storm across the area this afternoon. Nothing to really trigger anything until this evening (unless this morning's rain laid out some boundaries) and shear looks to be anemic, but CAPE is more than sufficient, especially if you believe the NAM.

They did look like asperatus. They seems more pronounced just before I stopped and took the photo. Within ten minutes it started raining and they disappeared with lower clouds moving in. They were definitely mid level. I figure most trees; except Oaks and the real hardwoods, will push their leaves out all the way this weekend. Mild morning here.

weatherbo Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Made it to 57° today. Filtered sun was the rule until mid afternoon before the rain moved in. Rain has stayed pretty light. Green up still ongoing in this local forest. That's a great pic of the woods there. Nice and green. Just took this off my back deck. Unfortunately the green up isn't nearly as far along up here. Did have .13" of rain overnight and early today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 80s and humid this weekend with some svr storms possible, although timing is better east and west of here. Debating whether or not to plant some annuals this weekend, or if the frost threat early next week might do damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 This weekend will for sure be warm and humid, which will feel nice as we haven't had that since early in the month. Rain & stormwise, it's a coin flip. The chance is there for a few strong storms, but there are no obvious signs of any big complexes that hit everyone.

I'm sure once sustained warmth arrives the green up will be pretty fast. 0.13" of rain here also overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 felt like an early Autumn day today.... very chilly down on the N shore of the Huron's. Looks like a warm, possibly thundery weekend then another sharp cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nice warm evening. Was slow to warm up. Temps have a fair chance of busting tomorrow, between first the low clouds/fog (possible convection as well?) early in the day then convection the Hi-Res models show developing in the afternoon. Should still get into the 70s, but 80*F+ may be difficult to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 All of the Hi-Res models continue to develop convection between M-59 and I-94 this afternoon. Still stuck under low clouds and the east wind lake shadow right now though, so I doubt anything happens locally other than more heavy rain showers (like last weekend).

hawkeye_wx Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Today is the most summery day of the season so far, with upper 70s/upper 60s T/Td. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 77F/64F ...greasy. Next week reality comes back. I saw a storm chaser car down at the park last night... think it was a Pontiac with Nascar type graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nice area of enhanced severe risk tomorrow. If morning debris gets out of the way it could be an interesting day around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Detroit only made it to 77*F, which is actually lower than the high yesterday, lol. DEfinitely an underachiever, as highs in the low 80s were forecasted. Hardly any breaks in the cloud cover. Did see a heavy rain shower this morning though.

wisconsinwx Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Today was really a picture perfect late spring day, a ton of haze considering the dewpoint depressions weren't that small. Still, mid to upper 60s with dews in the upper 50s and sun made for a 10/10 weather day, only a late day storm or two would've made it better. Tomorrow looks to be interesting from a storm perspective, it's been over a month since I've heard thunder, so it would be disappointing if we don't at least get a garden variety storm.

Geos Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Today was a super nice day! Not much rain though - 0.02". SE breeze had the fog near the lake shore when I was down there earlier in the day. High of 73°. Few pictures from the prairies near the state line. Can see the fog in the background here. White Trillium were dotting the forest floor in the area.

Looks like we have a shot of staying completely dry today. Best shot for storms looks to be east of here along the convergent wind zone where the SSE meets the SSW winds. Some sort of prefrontal trough I'm guessing. Storm speeds today will probably be over 50mph, so I'm not gonna waste my time. Tired of chasing supersonic storms lol.
